NBW Cape Cod Century

 After two days of being sick, I was able to get the 60 mile loop in of this ride. It was a perfect day to ride weather wise, 67 degree's at the start, sunny and the wind didn't pick up until later in the ride. It's been almost two years since I've rode this far and it felt good to be out on the bike that long.





This ride has to be done in the off season because the traffic can get insane after Memorial Day on the Cape. I was pushing it doing it the week before Memorial Day and I hit some area's where the traffic was pretty heavy. There were still plenty of breaks from the traffic though and lots of easy bike path miles too, especially at the end when I was getting tired.

Want It Wednesday, Acadia National Park

This road takes you up to the summit of Cadillac mountain.




Barbara and I visited here a few years ago and the next time I go, I will be bringing my bicycle. There are a ton of roads to ride on the island and the carriage roads really look enticing. I'll let the pictures do the talking for me. Don't forget to check out Jez Andrews blog here, for his Want It Wednesday.
